These M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies are the bomb! You will swear you bought them from a bakery. They are soft, chewy, with crispy edges and loaded with chocolate. These cookies are perfect any time.
I have to say that I have always loved chocolate chip cookies. There is just something about the way they look, smell, and of course, taste. It’s definitely one of my comfort foods. I mean how can a warm, chocolate chip cookie not cheer you up. If you look back over the years, can you count on two hands how many times you’ve had chocolate chip cookies? I bet you need more hands. 😉
Now, take that same cheerful, delectable chocolate chip cookie and add some of its M&M friends. Now, you’ve got a party. No tears here. Just one of those moments when you bite into the cookie and just want to be left alone to savor the experience. 🙂
You can really change this M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe up, too. If you choose, you can use M&M minis. Personally, I prefer the regular size because I like to be able to see the M&M’s and enjoy that extra chocolate taste. Same goes for the chocolate chips. You could choose mini, but I prefer the regular size. You just can’t go wrong with more chocolate.
Whatever you decide, just make them your own. Maybe add some nuts, candy pieces, or crumbled cookies. The sky’s the limit.
